The T-103 is a Soviet tier 8 premium tank destroyer.
Developed on the basis of the experimental T-100 heavy tank. The vehicle was intended to neutralize fortified emplacements and could be used for coastal defense. The work on the project was discontinued at the blueprints stage. The vehicle never entered service.
Essentially a turreted version of SU-100Y, available for purchase during 2019 Homefront event.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good alpha damage, penetration, DPM, accuracy and aimtime
- Fully traversible turret
- Good gun depression and great gun elevation
- Reasonably armored turret face and sides
- Good base viewrange for a Tier 8 tank destroyer
Cons:
- Large, poorly armored hull
- Very large profile, poor concealment and difficult to hide
- Shell velocity is not great, making sniping difficult
- Very poor turret traverse speed
- Poor reverse speed
Performance
The T-103 is a big, bulky and easy to hit tank. The armor is spotty, and is riddled with weakpoints. The only bit that has some armor is your turret. Your top speed is acceptable and your turret traverse is horrible. However, your gun hits like a truck, for a heavy. You can and will outtrade most heavies at your tier, and you have a faster reload than most. Your base and premium pen allows you to fight competently in tier 9 and 10 battles as well. Your viewrange is acceptable and with coated optics you can get close to 445 meters.
In general you try to weave yourself into the fight, never leading the charge unless you can go hull down. Your turret armor is decent at best, and your gun is superb. However your hull armor is poor and your low HP pool will find you getting 2 or 3 shot regularly. Fighting in the open is never a good idea, as your hull can get penned by even the lowest pen guns you can meet. Conversely your armour is enough to ram without taking much damage, combined with your weight and speed, its enough to ram many same tier non-heavy tanks for at least a third of their health, a good tactic if an enemy medium tries to rush you.
In a same or top tier battle you function as a pseudo-heavy if the situation allows. The advantage of having an extra heavy tank on your team is very significant on certain maps. Find locations where you can peek over usual cover to surprise your enemies. Hide the hull and throw a few shells down range. Your turret has on average 260mm of armor, and your gun pens and hits very well for tier 8. Bully enemy players when they make a mistake with your fast reload and high alpha. Enemies wont expect you to be using certain positions if you get creative.
In a bottom tier game you play like a tank destroyer. You can sit in the back. Again, look for positions where you're not expected. You can peek over cover people do not ever see tanks. This will allow you to take shots periodically with little to no risk at all. Your base and premium pen will let you fight all but the most heavily armored tanks.

Historical Info
The T-100 & SMK were very similar to one another in appearance, utilizing a conventional track-and-wheel arrangement relying on multiple small road wheels, a rear-mounted engine, & an extended-length hull. However, the key physical quality of both was the two in line turrets with the primary turret seated over midships mounting a 76.2mm cannon & the secondary turret fitting a 45mm anti-tank gun closer to the bow. Originally, as many as five turrets were to be included but this requirement was dropped early in development (engineers were against the multi-turret approach to begin with). Both designs eventually used a torsion bar suspension system & multiple 7.62mm DT machine gun positions. Required armor protection was to be against 45mm shells at close-to-medium ranges & against 75mm shells at medium-to-long ranges. Armor, therefore, was welded in both offerings for maximum strength & protection to the crew & vital internal workings.
While only one of the SMK form was built, two of the T-100 were completed. This model featured a crew of up to eight men charged with various duties about the tank. The tank held a length of 27.5 feet, a beam of 11.1 feet, & a height of 11.2 feet. Power was from a single GAM-34BT 12-cylinder, liquid-cooled, gasoline-fueled engine developing 800 horsepower & allowing for road speeds of 22 miles per hour & operational ranges out to 120 miles (less when going cross-country). The drive equipment included no fewer than eight double-tired road wheels to a hull side. The drive sprocket was mounted at the rear & the track idler at front. Five track-return rollers were used along the track run's upper reaches.
The primary gun became the Type L-11 weapon & to this was afforded 120 projectiles. The secondary fit was the proven Red Army 45mm ant-tank gun. Held in independently-operating turrets, the T-100 held qualities akin to a battleship with broad arcs of fire with each turret able to target separate enemies at once. The machine guns added an infantry defense measure for those elements attempting to rush the vehicle with explosives. With one turret fitted forward & the other at middle, joined by the engine at the rear, the vehicle was relatively well-balanced for its size but its length made it still clumsy & cumbersome while weight also increased - the T-100 tipping the scales at 58 tons.
Beyond the usual evaluations & trials, the T-100, along with the SMK, were both operationally fielded in the "Winter War" (November 1939 - March 1940) against neighboring Finland. SMK was disabled by an enemy landmine in December of 1939 & abandoned for two months before being recovered by the Soviets - it was never repaired nor reinstated. The T-100 had a slightly better showing in its exposure, the armor protection proving sound against Finnish 37mm & 45mm anti-tank guns. Despite this, it held terrible inherent traits for a frontline combat system & was not given official approval for adoption/serial production. At least one of the two T-100 pilot vehicles was modified to the Self-Propelled Gun (SPG) role in 1940 with a 130mm naval gun as its main armament (as the one-off "SU-100Y") to combat stout Finnish bunker fortifications. Out of desperation, this sole example was then pressed into service in the defense of Moscow (1941-1942) against the invading Germans.
The Object 103 was developed on the basis of the T-100 heavy tank as a "heavy tank for coastal defence" by the design bureau of Zavod 185 under lead engineer Shufrin. The tank was designed to destroy pillboxes and ships, and was thus to be armed with a 130 mm B-13 naval gun in a fully rotating turret. A wooden model of the Object 103 existed, but the project was not developed beyond the drawing board.
